These are improvements that could be made if anyone has time:

• Provide more information (discussion, progress) for each indicator. Scour all the links on the HLPF website.
• Add some more maps (from SDG Tracker website / Wikimedia Commons) and images (Wikimedia Commons)
• Improve the flow of text in the background section because some of it reads like just a collection of facts but without good prose and flow.
• Improve lead to make it a better summary of the article
• Find any other good progress reports for SDG 9.
• Provide more detail and references to the section on "linkages with other SDGs"
• Find more progress information for some of the indicators which so far don't have progress information provided.
• Add more wikilinks to other articles in Wikipedia and vice versa.
• Find Wikipedia articles that explain some of the key concepts that are used in the SDG 9 article. We should not have to created new articles - often times they exist but just under different names. EMsmile ( talk) EMsmile ( talk) 07:43, 9 September 2020 (UTC) reply
